[@Buzzinga248]

I love your positivity, the property has good bones, but please for the sake of your future health, do not move in until you get rid of the mildew/ mould.

[@tomfromoz]

A soaking spray of cleaning vinegar will kill even black mould very quickly turning it brown. _Pam_

[@neutonrenda2303]

Great to see someone else who can see potential through all the mess. Most people wouldn't be bothered, but I've been in a similar situation and you can end up with a fantastic property. I can see loads of potential especially the outdoor areas. Going to enjoy watching your journey guys.👍❤

[@LauraMoyaLocalMortgageBroker]

Agree. Takes a lot of courage to buy something like this. If done correctly they should make some money out of this.

[@suestutzle2779]

Hang onto that Hills hoist. They are the best for drying the clothes fast. Way better than the lines that are stuck onto the side of the house. Your home will look beautiful and I just know you will be so happy there. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I will enjoy watching your adventures in bringing this sad house back to life again. All the best.

[@ramblingnomad]

WOW !!!!!! I would say you have an absolute "Diamond in the Rough" !!!! So much potential. I look forward to following as you bring this home back to life. Good luck, and safe journey.

[@UNXPIR3D]

Thank you! And thank you for sharing this Journey with us! 😁

[@micheledix2616]

I too am looking forward to watching your ups and downs of your repairs and restoration. The house should have good 'bones. Remember that you will have lots of mossies from your backyard creek. Lucky you that you have a 'real ' Hills hoist which will last your lifetime. Mine is 54 years old and still looks like new😁 The sand and dirt probably has been brought in by ants over the years of being empty. But your cornices are a lovely design.

[@vickikay54]

A bit of advice from someone who took on a similar project many years ago. Clean everything and so you can move in straight away. You sound like you are a person who can make do. Then get the roof replaced/repaired asap. Get the garden cleared so there is no further damage to the structure. When you are ready to start on the inside, do not go at it like a bull at a gate. DO ONE ROOM AT A TIME!!! No matter how tempting it is to do a whole lot all together, do not do it. It can become overwhelming to see every room at some stage of renovation, but nothing actually finished. (I learnt this the hard way). You sound very level headed for a young person, I wish you both all the luck in the world 😊

[@susanjacquier5358]

Wow...like so many commenters here, I just discovered and subbed. Love your enthusiasm for this property. Too many new 'soulless' houses flooding our towns now ( gosh, I'm 70, and love a bit of character in a home). We built a home 4 years ago...just sold it and bought a house built in 1959.....it hugs you as you walk in.:) Gonna play catchup and follow your journey !!

[@davidaustrian9455]

In regional Victoria houses or shacks that are falling apart used to sell for around $100,000 to $200,000. Since Covid and The subsequent housing crisis those properties have doubled in price and still sell!. Can you imagine that, paying top Dollar for a dump. Australia is not the lucky country anymore.

[@cherylmonopoli2896]

Hi,I live in Adelaide I have been watching Americans and English people renovating their home for years. This is the first time I've come across Australians doing a home in Australia!! I'm excited to watch the transformation.I have subscribed and I hope it all goes well for.Even with bumps along the way.Thanks for the video and Good Luck😊😊🦘🦘🦘😊

[@UNXPIR3D]

Thank you! And thank you for sharing in the Journey! 😁

[@ElleAshterra]

Likely to have flooded in 2022 being so close to the creek. The dirt and sand due to the flooding.

[@amypreuit4114]

I am so glad that I stumbled upon your channel and I'm so excited to see your journey! It's a beautiful property, even through all the mess and overgrowth. Thank you for allowing us to see your dreams realized! 🎉 2:42

[@Michelle_Emm]

I love that you're going to rescue and restore as much as possible instead of just removing everything and taking it to landfill. I love the blue bath and that bed is just OTT fabulous!

[@UNXPIR3D]

Yes!! We love love love the bed!! Thank you for sharing the journey with us!! 😁

[@lynnebennett1715]

With our small unique family business, specialising in antique bed restorations, reading these comments of people still loving iron and brass beds, is making us very happy. Thank you @@UNXPIR3D

[@richellenash-kennedy1602]

Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey, you certainly have a big job ahead. I’m surprised to hear the house was built in the 90s! All the tapwear, doorknobs are from the 80s. Can’t wait to see what you tackle first😊

[@helenvann3506]

What a great project! Ten years ago I bought a house on Brisbane’s northeide in a similar condition but mercifully the garden was nothing but grass. It took around six months to get it fully renovated, but it was such fun bringing it back to life. I’m so looking forward to seeing this journey

[@qwertyqwert2772]

there is no destination, the journey is everything !

[@earthmotherwithin]

Wow, what a great property! Can't wait to see you do amazing things here.

[@TheMelbournelad]

Hard to think something barely 30 years old got like this. Good luck

[@donnaweertman3592]

Great property did you check the flood map to see if it floods being beside the creek?

[@happy-g7901]

Agreed. Great place but really close to the water line

[@TheDan7004]

Wow! What an absolute beauty! Start from the top and work your way down! Stop anything causing water damage. Remove mouldy plaster and replace etc! All the best with the journey!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Hi there! Just discovered your channel this morning, looks like I have some catching up to do. Personally, I'd remove all the carpeting just in case there's mold or mildew under them. I agree with other comments, don't start living there till the mold is under control. It's got a lot of bedrooms and the property will be so nice after it's cleared out.

[@barbaradrechsler2819]

I’m looking forward to seeing you guys restoring this beautiful home 😊

[@Lea-bw9wj]

I'm so happy to find your channel. Looks like you found a diamond in the rough. Can't believe someone planted what looked like a Norfolk Island Pine in the backyard. It's already huge and still has more to grow. Some interesting treasures. I'm sure you can find a use for all those bottles and a shopping trolly. Lucky you being right on the river and you have a jetty. Don't you dare get rid of the hills hoist. If you do you can't be an Aussie anymore 😂 Those beds!!!!!! ❤

[@UNXPIR3D]

Gotta keep the hills hoist!! 🇦🇺 and we love the beds to! Yes it’s a Norfolk Island pine…and we had to remove it…way too close to the house and the root system will effect the foundations….Thank you for sharing in our Journey!! 😁

[@zzzsydneyhom1379]

Nice to be young! Good luck and I hope that your experiences are all that you hope for...

[@bronwynkerr8880]

What a treasure, well done, it will look fabulous when you're done

[@helengibson8196]

I've just subscribed and I can't wait to see how this house becomes your home. Such a great location. I love how you are not disrespecting the previous owners.🌷

[@nickislade5533]

The hill hoist should have an oil hole, oil it a few times and it will be good. Don’t try to force the handle Oh and learn to operate a floor scrubber those tiles will come up great

[@renee9113]

You found a gem!!! Love these finds!!! Following now for the journey ❤

[@boop7313]

It's very sad that old fulla lived there surrounded by junk & mould and he was disabled. R.i.p old fulla. I just subscribed because I love it when people see the potential in things, I can't wait to watch this place come back to life. I actually live in the same general area. Please be careful of the black mould & wear masks when you're moving stuff around maybe. Anyway you probably don't need my advice. Stay healthy and best of luck! ☺

[@suegreen8214]

Lots of things to recycle! Don’t toss everything without really considering it first You can always remove it later! Those beds! Beautiful

[@johndon74]

As said by others, sort the mould out before you move in. Can be really really dangerous!! Otherwise you have purchased a total diamond in the rough. Look forward to future posts!!

[@KeikoMushi]

The Dragonfruit growing up the front of the house looks rather healthy. Such a lovely species that is productive but can be a pain in the butt if left to its own devices. You'll need to get a few tipper bins to clean up that mess, but it certainly has promise.

[@kathymorgan1489]

Just found your channel, what an amazing find!, a hidden treasure! Look forward to following you on this journey.

[@shirleygraham6229]

You certainly have your work cut out for you, but great choice. It is a fabulous sized house, terrific position. The garden area will be wonderful when cleared and controlled. Best wishes from Coffs Harbour

[@Nightowl-72]

Will be fantastic! I admire your dedication and enthusiasm and will watch with interest the progress you make.

[@wendyhou3416]

New subscriber here, can’t wait to see what you do to this property. Very unusual to have a coloured bath in a 90’s house in Australia. They were phased out back in the 60’s and very early 70’s.

[@UNXPIR3D]

Yes! we were surprised to see the blue bath and basin…they cleaned up very well…thank you for sharing the Journey with us! 😁

[@seekerout]

What a fantastic find. I'm so excited for you bringing this sad property back to life. A word of caution - be sure to wear a good respirator when you tackle that mould adn make sure you get rid of all of it. Mould toxicity can be very debilitating and can make a house hell to live in.

[@sharynharrison271]

You really have got yourself a gem! But don't move in until the mould has been fixed, it is seriously bad for your health. Congratulations on your purchase, I'd love to see updates. A fellow Queenslander xxx

[@LisaGray1000]

Oh this will be an exciting and satisfying transformation. Love your positivity too

[@erikas974]

I am in Northern Rivers and must say I am so happy to find your channel. Immediately pushed the subscribe button. The reason to actually follow a fellow Australian to save our heritage houses. Looking forward to see your journey. 🎉🎉🎉 congratulation it was a steel to get that 💎 👌👍👏

[@sherlee123]

This one's probably not heritage

[@micheledix2616]

​@@sherlee123 definitely not heritage ( mind is built 1969/70 & not 'heritage) but a great size house 4 bed 2 bath which in the 70's like mine not a thing to have. I am surprised that the floor tiles have not begun to lift and she didn't mention any cracking whichnis excellent. Often homes left empty do have their floor tiles move and crack. I think the ants have brought in the sand and dirt and there didn't appear to be flood marks on the low walls or cupboards etc

[@tanyabrown9839]

I helped clean out a friends house which was abandoned for maybe 15 years along with also cleaning out my grandmothers house after she died. Some of the cans of food vegetables, baked beans.. were great still to eat and i think those were over 20 to 30 years old by the very different labelling to todays of a common brand and actually tasted better then their baked beans they can today! The sauce was richer in flavour. I discard any cans which were discolored at all on the inside. I wish I'd made a video of eating 20 to 30 year old canned food.

[@angelacurro1]

Wonderful project! Just wondering if all the dried dirt in the house could be from the creek flooding into the house?

[@livwalker4089]

That’s what I was thinking too! I hope that they know if there’s a flood risk in the area

[@leecarey4375]

Just found your channel and subscribed! What a journey....can't wait for more!

[@cyndy338]

Beautiful property and house is a gem! Can’t wait to see how you transform this treasure! Lots of ideas on KZbin for those bottles!👏👏👏👍👊🤩

[@daisyleaf3636]

Nice find, my home is from 70S has great bones, some great features brickwork looks good and tiles will look awesome once tidied up. what a wonderful opportunity but I would definitely give the home spiritual cleansing to remove the old energy. And definitely put funds towards some good roofers stop those leaks. Look forward to seeing your journey and the transformation of this forgotten home.

The builders who built your house must have built my house. I have the exact same handles in the kitchen and internal doors. It was built 90s too and left in a bad situation,not the same as yours tho but getting there.

[@UNXPIR3D]

That’s cool! 😎 we love the 90’s style of the house….thank you for sharing in our Journey!! 😁

Hi just found you through a recommend, and excited to follow you along this journey! Watching you show us through I’m itching to help you clean up as I too can see the great potential and so glad you are going to retain as much as possible. 5bedrooms and location and property size well done! That 4 poster bed oh my!!

[@peterholmesgavleman]

I’m amazed that even though the property had been broken into, and a few things broken such as the glass the amazing thing is that there is no graffiti

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Crikey!!! I look forward to your progress 😊

[@pamelataylor3537]

WOW what a great find. I’m so glad you are going to keep as much as you can and I love the beds and all the beautiful light you are going to have through all those windows will be AWESOME!! The garden will be so great when cleaned up and how lucky to have the jetty, what a great spot to sit and relax. Am looking forward to following your journey and to see what you do with this property. Good luck. Yes, Ivey subscribed, isn’t so glad to have found your channel. There is so much to love about this property I can see it all through the mess and dirt.

[@Hunty49]

A real fixer-upper. I can imagine what I would be doing in that reno. Step 1: The outdoors. Cut back all the trees and plant HARD! It's not hard for plants to grow in Queensland, if you go gentle, in 6 months you'll be overgrown again. Step 2: Plumbing and electrical. Make sure all the water leak and drainage is sorted. Tree roots are not your friends. Get the electrical safe and legal. Step 3: The roof. Strip the tiles and check the condition of the frame. Some lagging and metal roofing. Get the gutters redone. Step 4: Strip the house interiors. All cabinets, fixings EVERYTHING! And any bad carpets, damaged floor tiles etc, time for a fresh interior. Step 5: Remove and redo the ceiling plaster. Check the condition of the beams etc. Get some ceiling insulation in. Step 6: Patch all the walls. Get the floors sorted. Step 7: Cabinets for the house. Kitchen, bathroom, laundry etc. Now after 3-5 years and $100-150k, you can move in ;) Then the challenge to get the outside done starts. Kind of jealous of the challenge you have, but geez I would have fun as a side project during my free time. And the skills I'd learn!

[@Jenb0854]

Huge task ahead but it’s so exciting. 18 years ago a home right in the heart of Sydney was offered to me .. for almost nothing. However my sister told me I couldn’t do all the work myself as I lived too far away to be there often. So I never bought it.. Mmmm! So good in you. I hope you bring us another video down the track ..

I’m curious to see the renovation works completed. Well done on taking the leap of faith and buying it. 🎉

[@PennyEv4]

Congratulations, I love your positivity. However, I hope this isn't in a flood prone area- it looks like it may have flooded in the past (I'm sure you will end up making it a lovely home but it will take a lot of work. Good luck!).

[@ishka28]

What a great find.

hi from Adelaide, beautiful home, ok it needs a huge clean up, but if you can bypass that it will look like a million dollar home. I love all the sarcasm, how you go through each room, & the back yard, cant wait to see how your dream home comes true, well done guys on buying this little gem.

[@DoctorWEBB]

What about the malevolent angry spirit of the deceased old angry man who actively haunts the premises? Driving away anyone else who has shown any interest. I'd camp in a tent inside and just see if you can last a night before pouring money into a haunted house that your too scared to live in. Hopefully the spirit can see that your saving he's home and arnt changing too many things. He may well let you complete Reno's then amp it up to 10 with beetle juices assistance to make you run away screaming abandoning the property in much better condition at no cost to psycho Joe the ghost with the most. The pads looking killer and no rotting food in the unplugged old kelvinator. The ghost can continue haunting he's home because the maintaining is upto scratch for another spooky 30 years.

Awesome project! Love how you are going to leave a lot of it just clean it up. The projects where people completely strip and replace are boring. Can’t wait for updates. Keep the 90s alive. Lol

[@esurcylimaf4335]

You have a real gem there. Good luck with your dream.

[@peterbunting5294]

I think it is important to understand how such a property was allowed to get to this state and end up abandoned and derelict. The dwelling is probably only 30 years (maybe longer). There has been a major housing problem long before Covid

[@DoctorWEBB]

Or the previous owner was a lonely elderly man who liked to drink but became abusive when under the influence of alcohol. This is how he drove all family and friends away. He became reclusive sorta like a liquored up old hermit with nothing else to live for. Nobody was keeping an eye on him or even checking on he's welfare. One day the old fellow kicks the bucked and he's skeletal remains weren't discovered for years until some urban Explorer broke in the window, jumped inside the dark bedroom and crunched a shoe thru he's rib cage and became trapped inside this crypt full of human flesh eating necrophiliac rats distilling Moon shine in the living room. & freely Drinking from the toilet for years until dumb dumb dropped in and started screaming like a little vegan Itch. 😂

I too have just stumbled on your channel and decided to come back and work my way through the videos so far. Looks like a well built house when first constructed. Interesting how it could have been left there for so long before being put on the market and all the remnants of the previous owner left around. It's almost as thought he didn't have any family to finalise it all.😟 Just out of curiosity, how big is the block? I look forward to following your journey and great narration.

[@UNXPIR3D]
